If the output file is not specified make the modifications in-place
(like binutils objcopy does). In particular, this fixes
the behavior of Clang -gsplit-dwarf (if Clang is configured to use llvm-objcopy),
previously it was creating .dwo files, but still leaving *dwo* sections in
the original binary.

While writing code for input and output formats in llvm-objcopy it became
apparent that there was a code health problem. This change attempts to solve
that problem by refactoring the code to use Reader and Writer objects that can
read in different objects in different formats, convert them to a single shared
internal representation, and then write them to any other representation.
New classes:
Reader: the base class used to construct instances of the internal
representation
Writer: the base class used to write out instances of the internal
representation
ELFBuilder: a helper class for ELFWriter that takes an ELFFile and converts it
to a Object
SectionVisitor: it became necessary to remove writeSection from SectionBase
because, under the new Reader/Writer scheme, it's possible to convert between
ELF Types such as ELF32LE and ELF32BE. This isn't possible with writeSection
because it (dynamically) depends on the underlying section type *and*
(statically) depends on the ELF type. Bad things would happen if the underlying
sections for ELF32LE were used for writing to ELF64BE. To avoid this code smell
(which would have compiled, run, and output some nonsesnse) I decoupled writing
of sections from a class.
SectionWriter: This is just the ELFT templated implementation of
SectionVisitor. Many classes now have this class as a friend so that the
writing methods in this class can write out private data.
ELFWriter: This is the Writer that outputs to ELF
BinaryWriter: This is the Writer that outputs to Binary
ElfType: Because the ELF Type is not a part of the Object anymore we need a way
to construct the correct default Writer based on properties of the Reader. This
enum just keeps track of the ELF type of the input so it can be used as the
default output type as well.
Object has correspondingly undergone some serious changes as well. It now has
more generic methods for building and manipulating ELF binaries. This interface
makes ELFBuilder easy enough to use and will make the BinaryReader/Builder easy
to create as well. Most changes in this diff are cosmetic and deal with the
fact that a method has been moved from one class to another or a change from a
pointer to a reference. Almost no changes should result in a functional
difference (this is after all a refactor). One minor functional change was made
and the result can be seen in remove-shstrtab-error.test. The fact that it
fails hasn't changed but the error message has changed because that failure is
detected at a later point in the code now (because WriteSectionHeaders is a
property of the ElfWriter *not* a property of the Object). I'd say roughly
80-90% of this code is cosmetically different, 10-19% is different but
functionally the same, and 1-5% is functionally different despite not causing a
change in tests.

This change adds support for the --only-keep option and the -j alias as well.
A common use case for these being used together is to dump a specific section's
data. Additionally the --keep option is added (GNU objcopy doesn't have this)
to avoid removing a bunch of things. This allows people to err on the side of
stripping aggressively and then to keep the specific bits that they need for
their application.

GNU's --strip-all doesn't strip as aggressively as it could in general.
Currently llvm-objcopy copies the exact behavoir of GNU's --strip-all.
eu-strip is used as a drop in replacement for GNU strip/objcopy in many many
places without issue. eu-strip removes non-allocated sections and keeps
.gnu.warning* sections. Because --strip-all will likely be the most widely
used stripping option we should make --strip-all as aggressive as it can safely
be. Since we have evidence from eu-strip that this is a safe option we should
allow it. For those that might still have an issue afterwards I've added
--strip-all-gnu as an exact drop in replacement for GNU's --strip-all as well.

I was being inconsistent with the way I was capitalizing help messages

We haven't been supporting anything but ELF64LE since the start. Luckily
this was always accounted for and the change is pretty trivial. B35281
requests this change for ELF32LE. This change adds support for ELF32LE,
ELF64BE, and ELF32BE with all supported features that already existed
for ELF64LE.

Many projects use this option. There are two ways to use it. You can
either a) Just use --strip-debug and keep the old file with debug
content or b) you can use --strip-debug, --only-keep-debug, and
--add-gnu-debuglink all in conjunction to create two separate files, the
stripped file and the debug file. --only-keep-debug is more complicated
than --strip-debug because it keeps the section headers without keeping
section contents. That's not really supported by llvm-objcopy at the
moment but I plan on adding it. So this change just supports a) and
options to support b) will come soon.

This change adds a slightly less extreme form of stripping. It should
remove any section that starts with ".debug" and should remove any
symbol table or relocations. In general this strips out most of the
stuff you don't need to execute but leaves a number of things around.
This behavior has been designed to be compatible with GNU strip/objcopy
--strip-all so that anywhere you currently use --strip-all you should be
able to use llvm-objcopy as a drop in replacement.

There's a lot of misuse of Twine scattered around LLVM. This
ranges in severity from benign (returning a Twine from a function
by value that is just a string literal) to pretty sketchy (storing
a Twine by value in a class). While there are some uses for
copying Twines, most of the very compelling ones are confined
to the Twine class implementation itself, and other uses are
either dubious or easily worked around.
This patch makes Twine's copy constructor private, and fixes up
all callsites.

ubsan caught an issue I made where I was converting a null pointer to a
reference.
elf utils implements a particularly extreme form of stripping that I'd
like to support. eu-strip has an option called "strip-sections" that
removes all section headers and leaves only program headers and the
segment data. I have implemented this option partly as a test but mainly
because in Fuchsia we would like to use this option to minimize the size
of our executables. The other strip options that are on my list include
--strip-all and --strip-debug. This is a preliminary implementation that
I'd like to start using in Fuchsia builds if possible. This change
implements such a stripping option for llvm-objcopy
